For designing dolls, every creative person needs a special atmosphere. I find it in my studio at home with its gorgeous view on my romantic garden. This is the place where the new doll children come into being every year. After having been completed in the manufacture, they start to travel and are presented to the specialist visitors and collectors from all over the world at the international fairs. The direct contact with the collectors has always constituted an important part of my success. I need the feedback and the personal encounter with the ardent collectors.
